Ryecourt Nursing Home

Thank you.

Although Dad was only at the home for a couple of months before he passed in August, the care from the staff was absolutely wonderful. Every staff member we spoke with showed their compassion in how they care for residents, ensuring their comfort at all times. The staff were so supportive and they kept the family up to date on all his care needs and were with him at the end to ensure his comfort. I would definitely recommend Ryecourt as a caring home and can't thank the staff enough for their help during a sad time for our family.

Mum originally went into a different care home for respite. Unfortunately during her stay, it quickly became apparent that this would have to be a permanent placement. Unfortunately, the dementia home she was placed in was not able to meet her needs. Ryecourt was offered and we accepted the placement. I don't receive naughty phone calls anymore like I did when she was in the other home. Mum's needs are met and she is clearly a lot happier there. The atmosphere is a lot calmer here (which is what mum needed). She is kept stimulated and not left in a chair. Her medication was reduced when she came here and as such, she is no longer zombied-fired after her tablets. While mums dementia has further progressed now she is a lot calmer and suffers less anxiety as she is on better medication (so it seems) The staff were quick to pick up on mums triggers and what upsets her. Not long after arriving the home felt they could deal with any behaviour mum presented as such she was discharged from RIT team.

Before going to Ryecourt, Dad was in a mental hospital and we had to make the difficult decision to wait for a place at Ryecourt. This was the best decision we made. A great care home!

It is so relieving to know that our friend is getting the best care possible, and thank you to all of the staff at Ryecourt for being so welcoming!

Having just visited a dear friend with dementia in this care home, I was absolutely blown away by the lovely cosy feeling I felt on entering. The carers are so friendly and welcoming. Spending time here over two days, I observed the amazing care the members of staff gave the residents. Nothing was too much for them. I could not believe how well and content our friend looked, and this is down to not only the loving care of his wife but all of the carers at this nursing home that do a wonderful job and really care. I can't thank you enough for the fantastic job you all do. It's refreshing to see carers that truly care.

My step-father-in-law spent the last four months of his life at Ryecourt and what a lovely place it is to live. The manager and her staff are amazing, they look after the residents like their own grandparents, they couldn’t do enough for them. I think it’s the only time in the thirteen years I have been looking after my step-father-in-law, that I could go away on holiday and not worry about him.The staff have so much patience, empathy and understanding. If you're worried about placing your loved one here don’t, as I don’t think you could get anywhere better. Lovely people with hearts of gold.

So well done to all the staff at Ryecourt you're all stars.
